COMMENT

Even indexed terms are squares. Their square roots form the sequence A005319. Odd indexed terms divided by 2 are squares. Their square roots form the sequence A002315. (index starts at 0)

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/2)*(s^n+t^n)-1, where s=3+2*sqrt(2), t=3-2*sqrt(2). Note: s=1/t. a(n)=6*a(n-1)-a(n-2)+4, a(0)=0, a(1)=2.

a(n) = 1/kappa(sqrt(2)/A001542(n)); a(n) = 1/kappa(sqrt(8)/A005319(n)) where kappa(x) is the sum of successive remainders by computing the euclidean algorithm for (1, x). - Thomas Baruchel (baruchel(AT)users.sourceforge.net), Nov 29 2003

MATHEMATICA

a[0] = 0; a[1] = 2; a[n_] := a[n] = 6a[n - 1] - a[n - 2] + 4; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 20}]
